Hi, Snippet of my DRL . rule "Rev: Start Time < 2 Hours in Future" when $obj : eval(compareDatesWithTime(startDateTime, -2, 2, "<")) then $obj.addFailedRule("Rev: Start Time < 2 Hours in Future"); end This fails during compilation and throws error: org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage: Unable to Analyse Expression (eval(compareDatesWithTime(startDateTime, -2, 2, "<")) ): [Error: unable to resolve method using strict-mode: myObject.eval(boolean)] [Near : {... (eval(compareDatesWithTime(star ....}] ^ [Line: 6, Column: 2] : [Rule name='Proposal - Start time is after current + 2 hour'] I am using Drools 5.5 and I found the cause that my code runs in strict mode.. so If I set strict mode to false then this would work. Now I am not sure how to make it to false. Here's the code I am using: PackageBuilderConfiguration packageBuilderConfiguration = new PackageBuilderConfiguration(); PackageBuilder packageBuilder = new PackageBuilder(packageBuilderConfiguration); packageBuilder.addPackageFromDrl(drl.getCharacterStream()); Can someone please suggest me how to do that??

Alright, I kinda found out the cause of the exception I am getting, however I am still struggling the reason behind the exception. So DRL_1, this works perfectly fine. package drools; import drools.ProposalLight; import function drools.DateUtil.compareDatesWithTime; rule "Date Rule" when $obj : ProposalLight(eval(compareDatesWithTime(endDateTime, -2, 6, \"<\"))) then $obj.addFailedRule("Date Rule"); end; DRL_2, this doesn't work. and throws [Error: unable to resolve method using strict-mode: myObject.eval(boolean)] [Near : {... (eval(compareDatesWithTime(star ....}] ... package drools; import drools.ProposalLight; import function drools.DateUtil.compareDatesWithTime; rule "Date Rule" when $obj : ProposalLight((eval(compareDatesWithTime(endDateTime, -2, 6, \"<\")))) then $obj.addFailedRule("Date Rule"); end; Notice that extra paranthesis around eval(). This is where Drools 5.5 throws exception. Can someone please explain why this extra paranthesis throws exception and how can I make it work. Thanks, Jeetendra.

@Mark: There's really no need to claim additional bugs ;-) @Jeetendra: Within a pattern (such as "ProposalLight(...)") you may write bindings and constraints, which are boolean expressions. Older versions had a much more restricted syntax for constraints, and general (Java-style) expressions were only peremitted by enclosing them in "eval(...)". In 5.5.0, as soon as you open a parenthesis, you have to stick to plain old Java (or MVEL) syntax, and "eval" is a name like any other. Recognizing "eval(...)" as the legacy marker for introducing an expression has to be kept, but only at the outermost parenthesis nesting level of constraint expressions. See example #1 below: ### 1 ### function boolean positive(int a){ return a > 0; } // legacy style constraint, use eval() to wrap boolean expression $msg: Message( eval(positive($msg.getText().length())) ) // modern style: boolean expression $msg: Message( positive($msg.getText().length()) ) // modern style: boolean expression with redundant parentheses $msg: Message( ( positive($msg.getText().length()) ) ) The next example demostrates that eval is a "soft" keyword, with recognition restricted to certain places: ### 2 ### function boolean eval(int a){ return a > 0; } // Why not call a function "eval"? // modern style: boolean expression, parentheses required to bypass soft "eval" recognition $msg: Message( ( eval($msg.getText().length()) ) ) So, the answer to your question "How can I make it work?" is quite simple: add a declaration of a boolean function eval, like this: function boolean eval( boolean b ){ return b; } And, please, do not use terms like "throws an exception" when a simple syntax error is reported. -W On 25/07/2013, Mark Proctor <mproctor(a)codehaus.org&gt; wrote: > It shouldn't do, and could be a bug.
